Attention Please:
I have prepared the Official XP PRO SP3 OEM Installation disk for my Panel PC Company. I' love test the new driverpacks with differents motherboards assembled in different Industrial PC.
The Lan driverpack version is marked: 1306141
Many industrial boards have different chipsets. Is the perfect bank test for everyone..
During setup of one mobo with the Intel ICH8M chipset and two different Gigabit Lan: x Intel 82567V-3 Gigabit Network
and 1x Intel 82583V Gigabit Network, this last one is installed but, if you try to connect a lan cable and set the correct IP address, the system continue to say (NOT CABLE CONNECTED). If you disable the device via software than re-enable, the gigabit lan work. But if you restart the system the problem appear and you have to disable it by hand than re-enable.
With all the previous official LAN driverpacks, this problem is not present.
I have also found another bug. If you take a mobo with the Intel 82566DM gigabit ethernet and try to install all the LAN driverpacks with one of the Intel Lan driver > than 14, the lan work but only on 10/100 or 100MB/s. If you wanna connect it wit a gigabit lan the lan didn' t work. If you install the Intel driver v14 or lowers, the lan work perfectly. Is not the hardware bugged. Is the driver.
The Intel drivers are very very poor and, for me, there is no one in Intel who can think to try the compatibility before release a new version.
Bah.
Thank you very much for the attention.
